Camavinga reveals transfer dream amid Manchester United rumours

Eduardo Camavinga has revealed his transfer ‘dream’ amid rumours linking him to a possible Manchester United move in the future.

As things stand, it looks like Paul Pogba is set to leave Manchester United in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Frenchman has always appeared keen on a departure and that might come true soon with his contract running out.

If reports are indeed true then the Red Devils are ready to let him go for a transfer fee in the region of £53 million. And European giants like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus have been named as clubs interested in acquiring his services.

Pogba is an important part of this Manchester United team though and as a result, the club are expected to replace him. One man whose name has been brought up in this regard is Rennes’ 18-year-old midfielder Eduardo Camavinga.

The Frenchman has admitted in the past that he dreams of joining a ‘great’ club. As reported by the Mirror, he said:

"“The great clubs make me dream, but I cannot name one in particular for my future. We’ll see [about a new deal at Rennes].“We haven’t set a date to discuss my future, I’m in no rush about it. There will be negotiations to keep me here. It would be a pleasure for me to continue at Rennes. I still have two years left on my contract and we have enough time to talk about it.”"

While Camavinga does talk of a new contract at Rennes, you would be surprised if that actually happened. Despite just turning 18 this month, he has already played and scored for a very strong France national team. And many expect him to be one of the best midfielders in all of Europe over the next decade or so.

A transfer fee of around £63 million is thought to be enough to lure him away from the French side. And if he is available next summer, Manchester United should not think twice before making a move. They are certainly a ‘great’ club although their recent record might not suggest so.

But it is signings like Camavinga that could pay dividends for years to come and could turn the Red Devils back into one of the top sides in England. Let’s just hope that they can get a deal done.
